Malibu really is new, improved

The Malibu is a midsize car that has style, and is loaded with refinement. It comes in three trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ, plus a version with a hybrid engine. I drove the Malibu LTZ with a base price of $26,345, and with the option of a sunroof, the final as-tested price was $27,395. The 2008 Malibu LS starts at $19,345.
